As has been said the format was discussed widely and in depth before it was finalised. Bearing in mind that Alex Haley did not choose "burrowing underground like moles" as the title of his 1976 book...

I believe that "personal collision" is a euphemism for a fight and not fraternisation. Although in an organisation based on discipline some would consider it prudent for an NCO not to be one of the...

Provost-Serjeants were similar to, but separate from the Military Police. There were Garrison Provost-Serjeants and Regimental-Provost Serjeants. The hand written note is taken from Para 661 of...

Sorry this is coming in dribs and drabs. For 1st Btn SLI try searching Arakan: The Burma Star Association is a good start.

I know that the "standard answer" to this problem is "write it somewhere else and then copy/cut and paste into your post", but having ignored/forgotten that sage advice many times I do find it...

Title The story of the Seventh Battalion the Somerset Light Infantry (Prince Albert's)

:oops: Of course if it is the 1st Btn you're interested in you could try a different book :yikes:

Couple of other bits: around the time you are talking about there were ballots to choose who "joined up". It was possible to pay a "fine" to be excused, or to find someone else to take the balloted...

I would hazard a "Yes" for although we were a war with France, the Militia were like the TA and had civilian jobs as well as being part of the Militia. I believe it was similar at the start of WW1...

Both Taunton and Yeovil Libraries have copies of this book, however, they seem to be in their Reference Sections. It would still be worth going through your own Library, or to see whether the...

Following on from Sue's post, Weston super Mare Library had quite a few books on the SLI in their Local Studies Section. That was at their old building, their new location has "enhanced the learning...

There are some War Diaries for the 7th Btn here http://www.
flickr.com/photos/8549277@N04/4026397496/in/set-72157622494108073/lightbox/ but they are 1944 and in Europe. The SLI Archives show the...

The Somerset Military Museum has extensive records of the SLI and well worth a try.

Somers Town is in London, it lies more or less in an area to the North of the main line stations of Euston, St Pancras and Kings Cross. There is/was a large goods train depot there. But it looks as...

What do you see as the solution, apart from leaving? As the saying goes "You are either part of the solution, or you're going to be part of the problem".

We used to have a local pub whose sign was a barrow load of monkeys. The pub was called "The Load of Mischief" and it was run by an Eastern European Lady of a certain age and old schooll. She...

Unfortunately for some of us this is becoming highly possible :hat:

They were on the Isle of Sheppey too. In 1797 a John Bastard wrote a detailed account of the Nore Mutiny in a letter to his Brother and Sister. The letter was published in the Sheerness Guardian...

As if I was trying to be political :innocent: I just wondered what the Telegraph would do when all the well off pensioners returned their Telegraphs? |book2|

A snippet, apparently in The Telegraph, a Cabinet Minister in encouraging well off pensioners to send their extra benefits to the Treasury, is quoted as saying "I would encourage everybody who reads...

I believe that it is Samuel Lomox. There is a Samuel Lomoox "45" House Agent at 13 Old Quebec Street shown in the 1841 Census. HO107/679/1 St Marylebone. Copyright TNA

Perhaps because
6. No minister being informed of the weakness or danger of death of any infant within his cure and therefore desired to go to baptize the same shall either refuse or delay to do so....

For the CofE currently the Canons 7th edition covers this in Sections 21 "It is desirable that every minister having a cure of souls shall normally administer the sacrament of Holy Baptism on Sundays...

Ah, takes me back to the Benny Hill Show, only he did it with a spanner (I think), but it still came down to "left it behind". Even earlier I remember The Crazy Gang doing football teams. One...
